Nuclear energy is very useful in today's world. It is a very cheap alternative to oil,natural gas, and hydrogen power but it can also be very dangerous.
Nuclear meltdown: A nuclear meltdown is a severe overheating of the core of a nuclear reactor resulting in the core melting and radiation escaping. The initial explosion can damage many buildings in the surrounding area. Dangerous radiation can also be released into the air. The radiation from nuclear power plants contain many radioactive substances.
